A Message from the Principal of Moss Elementary

Welcome to Moss Elementary, home of the Mavericks! 

At Moss, we have a vibrant and caring learning community and a dedicated team focused on academic excellence, student leadership, and strong family and community partnerships, which are all rooted in our Moss PRIDE core values: Prepared and Positive Attitude, Respect, Integrity, Dedication, and Excellence Always.

Our mission drives every choice we make: We build relationships and ignite a passion for learning that empowers student leadership, instills PRIDE in academic success, and nurtures each child’s unlimited potential. We actively foster connectedness and belonging through our dynamic house system—with the Houses of Prestatu, Rispetto, Integritas, Determinatae, and Excelencia—bringing our values to life daily and reinforcing that every student is part of something bigger. Each house principle is a pillar for building character and essential soft skills such as teamwork, communication, decision making, and resilience that support lifelong success. By working, leading, and collaborating within their houses, students learn responsibility, empathy, and how to express themselves clearly; developing confidence and integrity.

I am immensely proud of our Mossome Community: our incredible students, our dedicated staff, and the families who lift up our school culture. Every member of the Moss community lives our motto: All Day, Every Day. Moss PRIDE! Join us on this journey of growth, leadership, and excellence where we are learning without limits!

With Moss PRIDE,
